Chapter 90: Sudden danger
When they saw this, the kids couldn't help revealing wide smiles.
These wolves that had given them so much trouble before were now easily being taken out by them.
This really was the confident boost that they needed.
However, while these kids were celebrating, I had been staring at the charred corpses of the wolves.
Since they were dead, these corpses disappeared not long after and loot dropped on the floor.
When the charred corpses disappeared, there was a figure that was revealed that made me instantly knit my brows.
That was because this was the one wolf that I had been cautious of the entire time.
Seeing that it survived, I immediately shouted, "It's not over yet! Don't celebrate too early!"
The kids snapped back from their festive mood and turned to look at me. Seeing the expression on my face, they quickly followed my gaze to look at the omega wolf as well.
The moment that they saw this lone wolf that was left, all of them immediately became focused.
But the omega didn't give them a chance at all.
Seeing that its entire pack was dead, the omega didn't waste any time.
It wasn't strong, but it had an ability that the rest of the pack didn't.
There was a green light that appeared around this wolf before it suddenly…disappeared out of sight. Or rather, it became a speck in the distance in an instant.
This speed was even enough to catch me off guard, but I knew that it would be dangerous to let this wolf escape.
So I quickly said, "Shoot it down."
The others had been caught off guard by this and weren't able to react in time.
By the time that they reacted, it was already too late. The wolf had already escaped into the distance and was out of range.
Even if we wanted to chase it down, we wouldn't catch it since it was much faster than us.
So with a sigh, I had no choice but to give up.
However, I couldn't help feeling a bad premonition about this.
Seeing the wolf run off, the kids weren't as worried. They even went back to celebrating without a care.
But this time, I didn't say anything about it since they deserved it.
Balancing carrot and stick, that was my job as the leader.
If they deserve it, then I would let them have it.
After celebrating for a bit, they finally remembered where they were and calmed down. They cautiously turned back to look at Lin Fan, as if they were afraid of something.
Seeing them look at me like this, I revealed a faint smile and said, "You did well."
When they heard this, it was almost as if they didn't know how to react.
In truth, this was their first time hearing praise from me, so they really didn't know how to react.
They opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something, they acted like they were proud and arrogant, but really couldn't, and they awkwardly stepped side to side.
It was like a child that had been praised the first time with the way that they were acting.
I just shook my head with a smile before saying, "Let's go, we still need to clear this dungeon."
They gave nods in response as their eyes lit up and their faces filled with determination.
I could also see Su Chen and the other handlers looking at them with looks of approval.
Like this, we headed off deeper into the dungeon.
But my bad premonition was right.
We encountered a few more wolves, but there were strangely less wolves than there should have been.
It was almost as if they had disappeared somewhere…
We quickly learned where that was.
I had called a stop since I wanted to investigate the area when we suddenly heard a howl.
The kids all prepared to fight, but I couldn't help knitting my brows.
That was because I could tell that this howling was different from before.
It was different from the howling of all the wolves that we had met before this…
This was the howling of a wolf that was far beyond any other wolf.
I wanted to tell them to run, but it was already too late as we were suddenly surrounded by these wolves. I didn't know how they had gotten around us like this, but they completely blocked us off from leaving.
Then there was a wolf that was much larger than the rest that appeared in front of us.
It was clear that this wolf was the one that was leading the rest.
It wasn't just bigger, it also had a more powerful aura than the other wolves.
But the thing that I had been paying attention to was the smaller wolf beside it.
That was because I recognized this smaller wolf.
It was the omega that had escaped.
As soon as I saw this omega, I knew that it was the one that had brought this larger wolf over.
I only felt regret that I didn't act sooner to take it down even though I had already been wary of this omega.
Once they saw that they were completely surrounded, the kids all turned to look at me with worried looks as they asked, "What do we do?"
I took a deep breath and calmly looked at the large wolf.
As I was looking at it, one of the handlers suddenly said, "That's a Howling Gale Wolf, it's a special D Rank monster that is considered one of the hidden bosses of this dungeon. We should…probably run."
A special boss?
It was just like the one that I had met before in that first dungeon that I had gone to…but I was a different person from then.
If I were to take the Irregular License Exam, it was certain that I would face something as bad as this.
So if I backed down now…
I clutched the sword in my hand and said, "Leave the big one to me, you just keep the small ones back."
